Could Night Sweats And Hair Loss Be Due To Pre Menopausal Symptoms?

Hi, I am a 44 year old female going through perimenopausal symptoms. I am experiencing night sweats, but most concerning is the massive amount of hair I am losing. I have lost so much....that I am becoming very concerned. A PA told me to use women s rogaine, but that isn t stopping the hair falling out and how thin my hair is becoming. My OB/GYN told me that my thyroid was within normal range. She put my on low dose bc pills, but within three months my blood pressure went up. Can a change in hormones cause this much hair to fall out? What do you recommend I do?

Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. I have gone through your query and would like to offer some suggestions. You are of perimenopausal age and the associated hormone disruption can be a cause of the hair loss. Apart from this several other factors can be causative namely, hypothyroid state which has been excluded, anemia and hypoproteinemia which can be detected through blood tests, superficial causes like dandruff, stress and medications. You can see a trichologist for proper advice. Maintain a healthy diet, healthy weight, regular exercise and avoid stress. Hope this helps.
